Police said a male store clerk and a female suspect exchanged gun fire. Both were hit.

“We had a woman, believed to be in her late 20s, went in to the store,” said Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson. “During the course of the robbery, the owner of the store pulled a gun and actually shot her several times.”

The suspect was hospitalized, but authorities said her injuries are not life-threatening. The clerk’s injuries were also not severe.
